Wes Reeve – 'Don’t Worry'

Sometimes it can be hard to stay inspired, especially when you feel like you need to be. There is a lot of stress involved in creativity during isolation. LA based singer-songwriter Wes Reeve has channelled that feeling and turned it on its head in stunning new single ‘Don’t Worry’. 

‘Don’t Worry’ might well be dream pop’s answer to Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’. A light, sunny melody and soft piano playfully swirl around Wes’s beautiful vocals radiating an overwhelming sense of positivity. The perfect song to wash away any traces of stress and self-imposed pressures. - “sometimes I feel like I’m just waiting, stuck in a game that I don’t even know I’m playing and then I hear the angels calling my name, they say: ‘Don’t worry Baby.’”

Talking about the inspiration behind the track, Wes explains: “’Don’t Worry’ was written during quarantine when I had been trying really hard to get a new song out. I was spending every day sitting at my keyboard and writing by myself. It felt like everything I was writing was contrived and uninspired, and I felt exhausted with music and being an artist in general. I’d written a few lines of this chorus a few months before and when I started working on it again the lyrics came automatically. I like to think it was my subconscious sending me a message not to worry about what happens in life. Good could be bad, bad could be good, but it’s all gonna be fine.”
